Race Decadence
vice of women will impair the high
ideal of home. The newer ideal,
that men must cease fighting and
thus remove one prolific cause for
woman’s weeping, and that they
shall together build up a more per
fect home and a more ideal govern
ment, is infinitely more sane and
desiralde. Participation in the lar
ger and broader concerns of (he
State, will increase instead of de
crease the efficiency of motherhood,
and tend to develop that selfcontrol,
that more perfect judgment which
is wanting in much of the home
training of today.— A nna H oward

National Reclamation Act.
Note and Comment.
The national reclamation act,
sometimes called the n dional irri
gation law, became a law on Janu
ary 17, 1902. (32 Stat. 388.) This
ast provides that all moneys re
ceived from the sale of public lauds
in Arizon, California, Colorado, Ida
ho, Kansas, Montane, Nebraska, Ne
vada, New Mexico, North Dakota,
Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota,
Utah, Washington and Wyoming
shall be set aside as a special fund
in the United States treasury to be
known as the “ Reclamation Fund,”
The reclamation fund excepts the
5 per cent of the proceeds set aside
for educational and other purposes.
At the present time the reclamation
fund amounts to about $48,000,000
and is increasing at the rate of
$4,000,000 a year.
Under the re
clamation act the fund is “ to be
used iu the examination aud survey
for, and the construction and main
tenance of irrigation works for the
storage, diversion and development
of waters for the reclamation of and
and semi-arid lands” in the 16
states and territories. The purpose
of the government under the na
tional reclamational act is to make
homes for homeseekers. After the
irrigation works are constructed, the
sums expended are to be returned
to the government in teu annual in
stallments. Thus the reclamation
fund is self-continuing, aud after ir
rigation works have been construct
ed the money can be used for further
development, as it is constantly re
turned to the reclamation fund by
the settlers. The public lauds af
fected by the reclamation act are
subject to eutry under the provi
sions of the homestead laws in tracts
of not less than 40 nor more than
160 a'-res. No right to the use of
water for land in private ownership
shall be sold for a tract exceeding
160 acres to any one land owner.
The land owner must be an actual
bona fide resident on the land aud
the settler on the public domain
must be a boua fide settler.
Any
one desiring further information
should write to the general land
office department of the interior,
Washington, D. C., for the circular
from the general laud office issued
January 25, 1904.
This circular
shows the manner of proceeding to
obtain title to public lands under
the homestead, desert land and other
laws.—-Ex.

The United States Patent Office
is very much behind with its work
and business iu thousands of offices
and factories of the of the United
States is hampered by this condi
tion. The number of examiners in
the Patent Office has been greatly
increased. Congress has been lib
eral iu appropriations for tho Pat
ent Office, and it is believed that
the delay is in great part necessary.
Former Commissioners of Patents,
when the work was behind, have
required the examiners to workover
hours until they brought their work
up to date. This simple expedient
lias impressed them with import
ance of working during regular
hours and has proved nn effective
remedy.
